A general's incompetence exhausts thousands of troops, this sentence has almost become a mantra of literati, often used to attack military generals, as if defeating battles is related to the incompetence of generals, you defeat the battle because you are incapable, as long as you change to a capable general, you can win the battle, never care about army equipment, morale, food and grass and so on.

But is that the reality?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to attack the Xiongnu in the north, what did he rely on? ”

Is it Wei Qing and Huo Quai, these famous generals!

No! You must know that when it comes to famous generals, in fact, Han Xin and others, who were famous generals in the Liu Bang era in the early Han Dynasty, were actually more powerful than Wei Qing and Huo Quai, Han Xin was known as a soldier immortal, but in the face of the powerful Huns, Han Xin and others could only focus on defense, and you couldn't fight the Huns without strong cavalry.

Famous generals are human beings, not gods, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on cavalry trained for more than ten years to fight the Xiongnu.

The strength of the Xiongnu lies in the fact that their soldiers have learned to mount and shoot since they were young, and they are born warriors on horseback, so once the war starts, they will be invincible.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew this, in order to fight against the Xiongnu captive more vigorous war horses, train cavalry with more skilled cavalry and archery skills, and still launched the battle of invasion of Dawan for the sake of sweat and blood.

The Huns can bend the bow and shoot the horse, and our Han army can also bend the bow and shoot the horse, the Huns can travel 800 a day, and our Han can also run long distances and gallop hundreds of miles in the desert north.

It is with the well-equipped cavalry, the general Wei Qing, the champion Hou, can after the pass, they will fly and rein the horses, attack everywhere, looking for the Huns, even if they encounter the Hun cavalry, they are also killed by iron horses, destroying the withering and decaying, and killing the cavalry that the Huns rely on to win without leaving a piece of armor.

One Han was a wise saying at that time, and why the Han cavalry could surpass the Huns was because the Han army had sophisticated weapons and equipment, on the contrary, although the Huns were born warriors on horseback, but their equipment!!

When the Han Dynasty died, there were three points in the world, and even an ordinary warlord, the generation of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, was also a soldier of a county, so that the Hu people did not dare to respond to their edge, and there was a reason for this.

The development of the times has led to the increasing importance of equipment, such as the war of 1840, in which there were two battles for the defense of Dinghai.

The first occurred on June 30, 1840, when British Commander Burmer led a fleet from Guangzhou to Dinghai. Arriving in the waters near Dinghai, Bomai submitted a "note" to the Dinghai Zhixian County, demanding that all surrender and surrender the fort, but Yao Huaixiang, the Zhixian County, sternly refused.

Four British ships, three steamboats, and a British army of about 3,000 soldiers took up the posture of attacking Dinghai City.

At that time, there were only more than 2,000 troops in Dinghai, and the weapons were particularly backward. In the face of a strong enemy, Yao Huaixiang, who was then the county governor of Dinghai, said to his subordinates: "I am the minister of defending the territory, and I should show fearlessness." ”

On the afternoon of 5 July, the British ships launched an artillery attack, and the Chinese sand boat and more than 10 earthen guns on the shore immediately returned fire, but they were quickly dumbfounded, and the commander of the battery, Zhang Chaofa, was wounded and fell into the water and died.

After the British troops came ashore, they attacked the city overnight. Yao Huaixiang sat in the south of the city and stood for help.

The next morning, a corner of Nancheng was bombarded by British artillery fire, and Yao Huaixiang was wounded in the arm. Soon after, the British army broke through the east gate. Yao Huaixiang retreated to Longfeng Mountain in the north of the city, threw himself into the Fangong Pond to be martyred for the country, and the classic history Quanfu was captured and unyielding, scolded the thief and died.

In the first battle to defend the sea, our side suffered more than 1,500 casualties, while the British suffered less than 30 casualties.

The second battle to defend Dinghai took place on August 26, 1841, when the British government sent Pu Dingcha to replace Yilu as commander-in-chief, led the army to occupy Gulangyu Island, and then went north to Dinghai.

On the 30th, Ge Yunfei, the chief soldier of Dinghai, was traveling for Wang Xipeng and Zheng Guohong, who were about to be transferred out of Dinghai. Suddenly, I received a report from the British army attacking north. Wang and Zheng Er's general soldiers immediately said that they would stay in Dinghai to assist in the defense, and asked to be stationed in the most dangerous Tucheng, and Ge Yunfei was very grateful.

On 26 September, the heroic battle to defend the sea began. From September 26 to October 1, in the bloody battle of six days and six nights, the three general soldiers of Dinghai and the general Zhang Yuheng, the deputy general Toltai and other generals were all killed on the battlefield, and the vast majority of the 5,800 soldiers who participated in the battle were killed in the bloody battle.

As for the British casualties, there is no record, but there are by no means too many, although according to the tombstone inscription of the British joint burial tomb in Dongyue Mountain, the British Royal 55th Regiment died in Zhoushan 416 army commanders, drummers and soldiers.

However, it does not mean that these people were all killed or injured in the battle, because the people of Dinghai were still fortified and cleared, refused to supply food, vegetables and fish to the enemy, and blocked the wells and polluted the water sources, resulting in serious non-combat attrition of the British army.

According to a British soldier named Binghan, he wrote down the situation:

"Zhoushan...... There is an epidemic in the army, three or four hundred people have been buried, and about 1,500 are in hospitals...... This phenomenon is undoubtedly attributable to the lack of fresh and useful food, which makes the soldiers' constitution susceptible to malaria and fever, which are prevalent here.

This is more than 100 years of war, and the development of thermal weapons is not yet mature, resulting in such a large gap in casualties, and with the development of science and technology, the importance of weapons is becoming more and more critical.

In the land wars and warlord melees, Red Guards were set up in many places due to the lack of weapons, but no one called these soldiers soldiers, they were only a supplement to the regular army, and they could not even go to the battlefield.

Lei Weidong is in this situation now, there are thousands of veterans under his command, and this number will exceed 10,000 in the future, tens of thousands of veterans, almost the strength of a division, but the combat effectiveness is .....

Although guns are not banned in Hong Kong, the British have particularly strict gun control, and Lei Weidong has a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to get 30 gun licenses.

That is to say, there are so many security guards under Lei Weidong, only 30 of them have guns, and they are all pistols, although it is not the point of the Hong Kong police, but the firepower is far worse than that of the Flying Tigers, and it is still not comparable to the army, even if Lei Weidong's power continues to expand in the future, the security company can have 100 gun licenses.

This is also the reason why Hong Kong's underworld fights all use sticks and machetes, and rarely use guns, and those who rob with AK47s in Hong Kong are all regarded as bandits and are the targets of severe crackdown by the Hong Kong police.

Lei Weidong can lead tens of thousands of security guards to dominate the Hong Kong underworld with wooden sticks, machetes and underworlds, or he can be crazy with the police, because the Hong Kong police do things with evidence, and without evidence, Lei Weidong can't help it, as for the rest, if Lei Weidong dares to cross the line, he will equip his subordinates with a large number of arms and threaten the status of the British government in Hong Kong.

Hehe! The British let Lei Weidong know how to be a man every minute, Lei Weidong's seemingly huge foundation will collapse overnight, and then everyone goes to Stanley for tea.

The most typical is the big brother of the underworld in the bend, compared to Hong Kong, the underworld in the bend is much more rampant, because the bend implements the compulsory military system, and almost all the young people in the bend have served in the military, which also leads to the fact that almost all the gangsters in the underworld are from the army.

In addition, because of the poor ability to control weapons, many associations have pistols, even submachine guns and bazookas, which leads to many gang fights in Wanwan are very cruel.

But it was such a well-equipped case, in the case of the bend and bend, in the face of the authorities' sweep of the main gangs and hooligans in Wanwan, all the underworld bosses were arrested, and none of them dared to resist, so everyone went to the prison for a meeting.
